Geo. A. Field. II can see very well how

liable value 10 the residents Of all tins dis
trlct north Of Bri0ge-sL While 1 am ia

earnestly IN favor OF the other. II there
was line on Bridge-st. and l Was going

Sc. line because II would take me 10 the

Adolph Leitelt. II sm heartily in favor
OF il. The Cable Road people did all they
promised on the Lyon Street line. and only
As a matter of faith they should have a
feeder. OF the two roads up Bridge st. or
on Barclay-st. l should prefer the latter

and the very heart and centre OF the busi-
ness portion of the city. A line down
Bridge-st is of no practical value TO the
people living on the hill. Persons even in
gsing 10 church could not avail themselves
of the line going down Bridge-st., and the
stores on Canal-st. would be benefited as
much by the Lyonst. line, and more teo,
than as If the cars ran on Bridge-st. A
matter of good faith 10 the Cable Company
they ought to have franchise on Barclay
st. When we had our meeting on the hill
and took vote on whether we should have
Lyon Street or Bridge Stree. line. il was
Lyon-st. with the Barclay feeder that was
decided on
J. D. Naysmith: Am heartily in favor
of il and think the Cable people should have
il as a feeder.
VIM Cox: "The Council should fully
understand by the frequent petitions that
the residents on the hill want the line. 1t
is obvious that the Lyon street Line should
have feeder. The company have shown
decided inclination to act IN good faith in
the matter aud it would not be well for
the Aldermen OF this ward OF city to oppose
thing so necessary and so much wanted
as that line. / can see no reason why the
question should be deferred longer; let the
Council grant il Immediately"
Charles Robinson: I'VE must have what
we ask for. The Bsrclsy-st feeder is indis-
pensable to the interest of US people who
live on this north side of Bridge-st. 1t
was the understanding when the Council
granted tae Lyon street line that a feeder
on Barclsy-st would come next. ! can't
see how the Council eau do otherwise than
grant the line. and they will when they
know how much the hill folks want it."
John Eble: 81 want the Barclay street
line aud think the majority of the resi-
| dents of the hill want it. We must and
will have the line
M. Mohrhsrd; 81 signed the first petit

| line, and 1 have not changed in my views

on Bridge-st. would by all Odds
Postmaster James Blair Residents in
| this part OF the Fourth Ward have been
promised street railway facilities sure al
| most every year for the past ten years.
| Now that cable line bss been actually
| built up Lyon-st ia spite of the croakers
| who knew it would never be, I believe no
| obstacle should be put in the wsv of the
| building Of this feeder be the Cable Com
| pauy this fall. Let as have the feeder by

| w. D. Frost: "At the time the Lvon-sf.
| ordinance was passed it wss generally IN
| derstood by the hill people that the Cable
| Company should have the Barcsy-tt. feeder.
| 1 circulated the petition on Clsncy-st ssk-

! two refused 10 sign out OF nearly 5000 feet

| since. / look upon the line as being of far
more value To our part OF the ward than a

| Vim. Dnnham: 81 did not sign the peti-
